The Bsss Lives.

A basis OF the more popular form Of
a goddess philosophy in these modern
times is the assumption that "happi.
ness, Ii the legitimate pursuit of man
kind. Yet 1t 10 q truth of truths that
'happiness." in the sense in which
that term is employed by the Goddess
philosophers, and In which, indeed, it
is popularly understood, is not legiti-
mate pursuit OF mankind. The best
lives in this world, the noblest lives,
the grandest lives, are lives which are
not hatpy-as the world understands
happiness; and it is clearly unworthy
|of true man to make happiness, as
such, a prime object of pursuit for
himself, or of desire for those who are
dear TO him. Happiness" as it is
Ordinarily reckoned, is a condition of
feeling; it is, in fact, defined in the
dictionaries as ''the agreeable sensa-
tions which spring from the enjoy
ment of gOod"-of.good as measured
by ones selfish, or ones selHy, stand
ards; as 'that state of a being in which
bis desires are gratified by the enjoy.
ment of pleasure without pain" And
the popular estimate OF happiness is
indicated in the proverbial simile
Gas happy as clam at high water''-
as happy as mere conscious freedom
from discomfort or danger can make
one.
What a standard this is, for sensi-
BILE ard responsible being in such a
universe as ours Would you tell a
soldier, on his entering the army of his
country, that the object of his army
lite should be happiness? Yet the
highest conception of heroic life is
the soldier standard. Trust and obe-
dience are the soldiers true aim-be
the consequences to him or to his what
they may. And faith and faithfulness
are the Christians true aim in life
whether his feelings or his sensations
are agreeable or disagreeable. Indeed
the term 'hAppiness," as the Bible
employs it, is primarily indicative of
the Happenings" to man in the line
of his duty as a man; it is that which
comes to him in his Masters ordering.
Happy is the man whom God cor
recteth. Happy Is the man that
fcareth always" That sort of happi-
ness is not what goddess philosophers,
nor sinners generally, are looking
after; but there is no other kind Of
happiness which a Christian soldier
should be looking for. Instead Of
wishing to be happy, or wishing
others to have happiness. we should
wish for ourselves and for others a
full measure OF trusttulness and OF
trustworthiness, of duty doing and OF
trial enduring in all loving trust in
Him whose we are and whom we
serve.
That is an objective aim more wor.
thy of q rational and an immortal
being, than is any subjective mood, or
state Of feeling, or condition of being.
"Whoso trustelh in the Lord happy is
he"-even when he is most unhappy,
as the world Judges happiness.

Perennial italian Ray Grass.

This Ray Grass is also called Rye
Grass" but improperly as that is an
annual. The Ray Grass Qolium pc.
renne) has long been cultivated in
England, and is highly esteemed there,
more especially because it ripens at
the same time with clover and with
the exception of orchard grass. is the
most suitable to be cut with it for hay.
Both this grass and clover ought to be
cut just as they come into full bloom.
II allowed to stand until the blossoms
are closed and the seeds begin to form,
they shed protusely as the hay is
handled, causing quite a loss to its
value. Moreover, the stalks and leaves
become over hard and dry, and the lat
ter are more or less rubbed off, and
also lost.
This Ray Gratis has been cultivated
to some extent in our Eastern States
for about 80 years, but as pure Tim
othy is preferred by horsemen for hay,
that keeps the preference, although
when clover is grown with it, this
|ripens so much the earliest as to lose
something of its nutriment before the
Timothy is fl to cut.
Ray Grass is now extending consid-
erably in cultivation in our Western
States, and is much liked there and
also in the Pacific States. It comes
forward in the spring two weeks or
more earlier than Timothy or Red
Top, end it continues to grow later in
autumn. Unlike Timothy, it starts
up again Immediately after being cut
for hay, which Is another advantage.
This early and late growth renders
Ray Grass especially worthy of cult
va,ion for pasture, the same as is the
case with orchard grass.

RIGID DISCIrLINE.

All luxuries have their attendant
drawbacks. Even that of q carriage
is accompanied by the infliction of a
coachman, who, it ne has high idea
OF his own cspability, is only too
likely to become martinez. A Rus
sian lady, living in Paris, says that
sho woo onoo invited to break fast in
an unfashionahle quarter of the city,
across the Seine, She accepted the
invitation, delivered in person; but her
prospective hostess said, mischieyous-
ly: "You will be wise to start in time
to hire cab"
"And why"
"Oh, that magnificent coachmen of
yours will never take his fine horses
snd gorgeous harness to my humble
door,"
"Nonsensel" replied the other. "He
does what I tell him, though be is
sometimes rebellious.
Resolved to prepare for demur, she
gave the coachman his order the night
before, and boldly specified her route.
every well, madame" he answered,
imperturbably.
Assured of victory, she was ready
at the appointed hour, but the carriage
did not appear. After a time arrived
the coachman, overcome with regret
He was 30 sorry, he was inconsolable;
but one of the horses was indispose J.,
and could not be taken out. 1t was
too late to investigate, and madame
contented herself with sending a tele-
gram worded thus
II can not be with you. Ny coach
man absolutely foTblds it."
1t was an American lady who, on
asking her new coachman to drive to
certain street, was told by that func-
tionary that it was getting late, and
the horses might take cold after
dark"
"Ah, is that so?' was the calm re.
ply. swell, suppose you drive to c.
street, instead,'
"It's twice as far" objected the
man, emboldened by her tolerance of
his first remark.
Indeed? Then to Willow street.
Do you object to that distance9"
"Well, mum, it's further, By good
deal"
"Very well: we'll say Spring street" !"
BY this time it began to dawn upon
the man that the distance was being
regularly and purposely heightened.
and he said no more, after giving
rather sulky assent to her caution to
drive slowly. When they reached
home, after an hours drive, the mis-.
tress examined the horses with solici-
tude.
"Quite wet and muddy, aren't they2"
she said. swell, rub them down
